The Real Shobogenzo: Layman Pang v/s Mazu... fight!

Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:      

408 .  Layman Pang asked Mazu, “Without obscuring the original human, please set your eye on high.”  Mazu looked straight down.  The layman said, “One kind of stringless lute—what master can play it beautifully?”  Mazu looked straight up.  The layman then bowed.  Mazu went back to his room.  The layman followed him in and said, “Playing at being clever turns out clumsy.”

(Welcome link) (whoewk link) note: Mazu looking around wildly, Pang remonstrating himself, how is even dharma testing/combat, let alone dharma preaching? Don't make something out of it that it isn't your answer-
